	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1302, Thomson.   Parole:  sex offenders.
   Existing law gives the Board of Prison Terms the power upon
granting parole to any prisoner to impose on the parole any
conditions that it may deem proper.  Existing law gives the Board of
Prison Terms full power to suspend or revoke any parole and to order
returned to prison any prisoner upon parole.
   This bill would provide that on or after January 1, 2001, whenever
any paroled person is returned to custody or has his or her parole
revoked for conduct that would require the paroled person to register
as a sex offender, the parole authority would be required to report
the circumstances that were the basis for the return to custody or
revocation of parole to the law enforcement agency and the district
attorney that has primary jurisdiction over the community in which
the circumstances occurred and to the Department of Corrections.
This bill would also require the Department of Corrections to inform
the same law enforcement agency and district attorney upon the
release of the paroled person, and, if different, the county in which
the person is paroled or discharged, of the circumstances that were
the basis for the return to custody or revocation of parole.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:


  SECTION 1.  Section 3060.6 is added to the Penal Code, to read:
   3060.6.  Notwithstanding any other provision of law, on or after
January 1, 2001, whenever any paroled person is returned to custody
or has his or her parole revoked for conduct described in
subparagraph (A) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 290,
the parole authority shall report the circumstances that were the
basis for the return to custody or revocation of parole to the law
enforcement agency and the district attorney that has primary
jurisdiction over the community in which the circumstances occurred
and to the Department of Corrections.  Upon the release of the
paroled person, the Department of Corrections shall inform the law
enforcement agency and the district attorney that has primary
jurisdiction over the community in which the circumstances occurred
and, if different, the county in which the person is paroled or
discharged, of the circumstances that were the basis for the return
to custody or revocation of parole.
